The Jacksonville, Oregon Song by Jewel

The Jacksonville, Oregon Song by Jewel - June 26, 2010 - Britt Pavilion

Gold was discovered in these hills
And with the gold came the trains
And when the gold was all carried out
Everyone moved out, out of Jacksonville

The Chinese left only broken glass in the dirt
And the buildings stood like empty sentinels
But thanks to Britt's photographs
The buildings got their beauty back, back in Jacksonville

At the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains
An old West town is living still
Immortalized in black and white
It's the town of Jacksonville, Oregon

The Museum and the Beekman House
The Britt Gardens and the Festival
Immortalized now in song
And living history carries on, carries on in Jacksonville

At the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains
An old West town is living still
Immortalized in black and white
It's the town of Jacksonville, Oregon

And I'm glad to lend my song
And when you all sing along
Know that we are all just one small piece of history

At the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains
An old West town is living still
Immortalized in black and white
It's the town of Jacksonville

Yeah, Jacksonville, Oregon.
